Embarrassment is one of those emotions that is so profound and human, that we can often still feel it intensely when it’s second hand. Indeed, entire comedy series, most famously, the Office, have been built on inflicting both hilarity and cringe-worthy moments by putting characters in deeply embarrassing situations.
Often, the embarrassing things we go through are so intense, that many of us consider taking them with us to the grave. However, there is evidence that sharing your embarrassment, much like ripping off a band-aid, might hurt in the moment, but is actually a pretty good way to start feeling better about the experience. Humor, after all, is a great healer.
A netizen asked “what was your most embarrassing moment?” and some brave people shared their mortifying experiences. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote the worst ones and be sure to share your own stories and thoughts in the comments section below.

I tore my last good pair of shorts at work. Wore them like a kilt to go into Walmart and spend my last few dollars on essential food items for the house. A lady noticed my shorts were torn and wouldn't let me leave the store until she paid for a pair of shorts for me.
I was nearly in tears. Some people are still nice, folks.

My favorite one was an account of an event on the work forums. A manager was working through a transaction with a couple. Whenever the man was asked a question, his wife would answer. He asked "does she ever let you speak for yourself?". The wife responded with "No. Not since his stroke."
F**k.

And that is why, even if you're internally judging the c**p out of a situation, it's often best to hold it in. I remember the first time our extended family met my cousin's boyfriend (now husband). We were having a barbecue dinner where everyone served themselves, and everyone was so taken aback when she got up and got his entire plate of food for him while he just sat there, we're all silently thinking "dude, get off your butt, she's not your slave". After they left, my aunt dropped into conversation that he had a degenerative vision impairment. Dude was almost completely blind in low-light settings, and would have had no idea where or what any of the food was. Hence why my cousin got it for him. We've now known him for 10 years and our first impression couldn't have been more wrong - he's incredibly motivated and active and if somebody is helping him it's because he REALLY can't do it

I work in optics and see a lot of low vision patients, and your cousin is wonderful for simply taking it in stride. You'd be horrified at the lack of support that exists for people with visual impairments.

Reminds me of that story from a girl who was in a café or whatever and saw a man outside visibly stumbling as he crossed the road. She made a snide, judgemental remark about how disgraceful it was that this guy was that drunk in the middle of the day, only for another girl to say actually a) that's the local pastor b) also that's my father and c) HE HAS CEREBRAL PALSY. Oops.

Ok, so the manager addressed that a financial decision that affected the man was dealt w/o the involvement of the man. Manager saw a potential financial abuse and adressed it. Was it a bit heavy-handed? Probably yes. Was it necessary? Of course, very necessary.

My dad's partner got handed a card reader and said 'can you tell me the total, I can't see it because I am blind' and the woman behind the bar laughed and said 'oh yeah, me too!'. Sadly my dad's partner then had to explain that no, she is ACTUALLY blind 😂. Fortunately my dad's partner has a good sense of humour.

I recently was sent to the eye hospital by my optician as he thought I had a cataract in one of my eyes. I'd had a bit of blurring but nothing I thought was serious as I already wear quite strong glasses and thought a new prescription would be all I needed. Turns out I have some degeneration going on and it's not something that can be fixed or stopped. Soon enough I'll be classed as legally blind but that actually doesn't scare me...yet. I've always been very tactile with my surroundings as when I lived at home with my mum I never put any lights on in the night when I got up in case it woke her up so in all the places I've lived I've been able to get around by touch and memory. That will help later on and as someone with mental health problems I rely on others to help me already. It'll be a big challenge for me but I have to face it as it will catch up to me eventually. When it does, I will need more help but I'm not afraid to ask for it.

Many years ago I went to Magnolia Hi Fi in Seattle for a new stereo system. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and had about $1000 to spend (1993-4). My then husband was with me. Of course I get THAT male salesman. Every time I asked a question he would answer by speaking to my husband. After about the third or fourth time, I was getting pissed. So, I said, "Hey Bozo, I'm the one asking the questions and I'll be the one paying. He (nodding toward my husband) doesn't know f*ck all about stereo components". He got this really pissy look on his face & I was done. I flagged down a female employee who was more than happy to answer MY questions.- and SHE got the commission. (I also sent a very tersely worded letter to the Manager about @sshat's behavior).

At a retreat we all were sitting on a hard wood floor.
Speaker: "Let us have a moment of silence to reflect upon God's word in our hearts."
At that point, my stomach was bothering me. I knew the best thing to do was to let out a fart. I thought, well this is just a little fart, if I let it out slowly it will be silent. No one will be the wiser. So I let it go.
The fart was extremely loud and was amplified by the wood floors and the silence of the room. It echoed and sounded as if my a*****e had torn in half.
Elicited chuckles and laughter afterwards. I claimed it.

It was the first day of school in 4th grade as I’ll never forget lol My mom had bought me a super cool Velcro jacket to wear to class and I put it in the dryer to make it warm in the morning. I took it out and threw it on and went to school all excited to show it off. The teacher asked everyone to go around the room, stand up, and introduce themselves. I VOLUNTEERED to go first, stood up and started talking. Some kid sitting next to me, interrupted and said wait you have something stuck to your back and proceeded to take this balled up thing stuck to my Velcro. He unraveled it very confused - in front of everyone - and it ended up being a massive pair of my mom’s maternity underwear 😂.

My sister picked up her husband and brother from work one day. Both are landscapers and had been laying mulch down at a site. It was the middle of a hot summer, so they didn't look the best and both are black. The brother asked if they could stop off at the bank before dropping him off so he could deposit his check and get money for the weekend. She does this and both her husband and her watch him get into the car in front of them with a little old white lady in the driver's seat. He got out fast. He explained to my sister and husband that he just got in the car, and told her, "OK, now it's time for a little fun this weekend!" He quickly apologized to the woman, saw the car in the back, and got into it with my sister and her husband.

I was doing a play. It was children's theater so we entered from behind and among the audience to help suck the kids into this magical world. I'm playing Mike Teevee and I had to come in a side entrance and down these steps. Each step in that theater was like a small landing . So it's step down, take two strides then step down.
I had to time it so that by the time I've finished my monologue I'm standing in the front of the stage between the two narrators. It's our final dress rehearsal and my mom showed up to record me.
I'm making my way down and I stepped wrong and from what I saw on the recording what everyone else sees is me literally dropping out of view and then everyone laughing.
I basically somersaulted my way back to my feet and jumped back up to my feet blushing the rest of the way to the stage mortified.
I didn't realize it until I watched the recording back though. I never stopped monologuing. Not once. I was still doing my lines as I fell and as I was popping up without missing a beat.
Embarrassing as hell in the moment but kind of proud of it after the fact.

We were at some religious thing, I think it was about abstinence and the sanctity of marriage. No-one was really into it. Then, the guy giving a talk said "a lot of you will end up getting married", and started pointing at people, saying "you might get married, you might get married, you might get married" etc., and finished by pointing at me and saying "even YOU might get married." He was just making a joke, and even I laughed, but there was a group of guys who were crying with laughter. It took a while for them to settle down. It felt pretty s****y, and the speaker himself looked like he"d regretted making the joke.

When I was in fourth grade I s**t pants in front of my entire class, including my crush. I held it in for about three hours, when I just couldn't anymore. In my defense, I had asked the teachers multiple times to go to the bathroom, but no one let me. Since then I've taken the motto " If you won't let me s**t when it's just my problem, then I'm going to make it our problem then. People I have s**t my pants before and I will s**t them again".

When I was younger, my mom didn’t teach me how to put a pad on and I started my period for the first time…while at school 🫠 Someone asked me if I spilled BBQ sauce on myself. And then during a test, my pad slipped out and fell out in front of everyone because I didn’t take the wrapper off.

So we walked home as a posse, with my friends clustered round the back so that no one could seethe carnage. Solidarity for which I'll always be grateful.

Dusty's mom 1 year ago
When I started menses (1960s) we had weird little belts and garter-style clips. Each pad had elongated ends, which clipped to the belt fore and aft. Worse than wearing thongs. They slipped and twisted dreadfully. I took a pad apart and found a tiny rectangle of thin plastic in the middle of absorbent padding. Those stupid things needed to be changed a.s.a.p. or the blood would flow around the tiny barrier and stain one's clothes. Pads weren't self-stick for another decade. You could tell a man designed most of them. When women began to be consulted we had better products. Wrapped individual pads took even longer. At least I didn't have to deal with washable pads like Mom. I wasn't allowed to use tampons because only married women wore them (I guess Mom thought they'd break my hymen). Being a Boomer girl was a trip and a half!

I was at a networking event for women engineers and tech leaders at hosted by a big company. Sit down dinner in a large room. Every seat was filled.
I was asked to give an example of work I was proud of because women rarely talk about their successes. I started to describe a successful non-profit project I did in college then suddenly bust into uncontrollable tears. I couldn’t stop them, I didn’t even know why it was happening. I had to stop and sit down. Sadly, I haven’t been invited back.
I did figure out I was describing a time period when, “home” was my dad’s house. He had passed away a couple years earlier, we were close, I miss him every day. Remembering this project brought back memories of this time and my grief was sudden and overwhelming. I can’t think about how much losing him hurts every day. If you ignore it long enough, grief will find a way out. It was so surprising and sudden.
So, yeah, super embarrassing, especially given no one present will ever know why.

Later one night, when we were all walking around away from our hotel, I got the stomach rumbles. Then the nausea hit. I have never felt so sick in my life. It felt like someone was grabbing my insides and twisting them. The second we got back to our hotel I made a beeline for the bathroom. Through that paper thin wall, this guy I barely knew heard me s**t pure liquid out of my a*s (complete with loud, wet farts), cry, and vomit in a trash can in front of me. I spent the rest of the night shivering in bed and making runs to the bathroom. I hit the "been married for a decade" barrier with them in a single night.
Food poisoning is a b***h.

Yep, had a case in college and doing a production of "Bye, Bye, Birdie". I was using the bathroom a floor up from the dressing rooms/stage (so not used a whole lot by the cast) and had cramps & gas so bad that I fainted. I woke up on the floor and was still trying to figure out what happened when a dancer from the local dance studio came in and asked me what I was doing. I was still woozy (I'd hit my face/head on the way down) & couldn't answer so she went running for an adult. The adult (stage manager) had the same dancer go under the stall door and unlock it to get me out. Apparently there was no blood but I looked half-dead & was sent back to my dorm room with someone to make sure I got to bed. Whatever it was passed overnight, i sat out the next night's rehersal and came back with a beauty of a bruised face and a black eye. We opened 3 days after that. Stage make-up really helped but I was so embarassed that week, trying to explain why I fainted & had hurt myself.

I was casually seeing this guy in my 20s, he lived 2 hours away so I'd stay with him some weekends. I ended up suddenly (literally sitting at a bar drinking a beer feeling great to running outside and projectile vomiting in a matter of minutes) getting a severe flu. Vomiting quickly turned to explosive diarrhea to the point that I couldn't drive home. So I got to spend two days blowing up his toilet (in a bathroom that didn't have a door k**b so the door was always ajar) and accidentally sh*tting in his bed in my sleep. He was a good sport about it 😂

I was freshmen in highschool playing at soccer game. We had gotten our a**es totally kicked, 0-4 by the best team in the league. At the end of the soccer game usually the moms would bring snacks and drinks for everyone, well my team didn't really have a great support network and nobody brought them for us.
I was so tired and sad that we lost I got confused and followed the other team to the snack area. They had twinkies, jerky, those little juice boxes that looked like grenades.. the best stuff. Started scarfing them down. Then noticed I was the only one on my team eating with these guys.
There was so much silence as an entire team of players and their support parents just looked at me. I was like, 'oh... I shouldn't be here'..They all started laughing at me. Then I walked back to my side of the field.. with my entire team started laughing at me.
Yea it was a tuff day.

I recall our team going down 0-7 one game and, at full time, the other team gave 3 cheers for our goalie (my son, who is very much the "never say die" sort) and then forming a tunnel to clap him off the field. They knew that, without his efforts, it easily would have been 0-10 or worse. A class act that we both still remember fondly.

For grade school, I attended a religious school. We went to church every week. One week, the weather was particularly warm and muggy, and we were in church. I was wearing the school uniform shorts, while sitting on the wooden pew/seats and my skin was very sticky.
The priest was droning on through his homily, and I adjusted my position in the seat. The back of my sweaty sticky leg stuck to the pew and made the loudest farting sound against the hardwood of the seat, and it echoed through the church, and everything subsequently went silent. *Everyone*, including the priest looked my way. There was a long, awkward, silent pause while everyone gazed at me while I flushed red like never before.
Nothing else came of it, the priest continued droning on and everyone else continued being bored, but that moment of thunderous fart noise and the world standing still while everyone stared at little 2nd grade me was absolutely mortifying.

Another time, although I didn’t walk into it, I stood waiting in front of a glass wall thinking it’s an automatic door. The said automatic glass door was just to the left of the glass wall. It took a friend of mine pointing out the door for me to realise that I was waiting for a wall to open up.

I could not hold it anymore. I started s******g myself. He told me to go into the thicket along the walking trail/bike path we were on to finish relieving myself. He went to get baby wipes from his sister. I cleaned up and left my underwear and my pride in the thicket.

In 4th grade I was wearing fake velvet/corduroy tweety bird overalls and we were doing parachute day in PE. The overalls split at the butt and the nurse used safety pins to keep it together for the next 4-5 hours. I went to BASE because my parents both worked and had long commutes so after school I basically just sat in a plastic chair so no one could see my butt.
Also when I was 12 or 13 I got my period in PE and bled through my underwear, pants, and a sweatshirt tied around my waist and I had to sit on the bleachers and not do field hockey which was my favorite. The rest is a little foggy but I think they had me wear stuff from the lost & found until I went home. Man I have a lot of PE related small t trauma.

I had a tampon in but bled through, not my top layer of pants, but the thermals we had all been given by the teacher.

Cr*pping my pants in church.
There was a special service being held on Halloween night and I ate way too much candy and my stomach got upset. I was the cross-bearer and I ran to the back right before they did the offering (where the cross-bearer has to go to the back of the church) and couldn't get the vestments off in time and just let it rip. I remember my pants expanding like a balloon and I felt the liquid goo running down my leg. The secondary priest came to the back to check on me and he could smell the foul deed I did and I remember him saying "oh god" and he went to the back to get my mom who quickly shuffled me out the back/side door of the church.
They tried to wash the vestments and my parents ended up buying the church an entire new set. Needless to say I never wanted to "serve" again.

Well yes, get them out if possible and get emergency treatment if not, but No, they're very unlikely to kill you. Button type watch batteries normally pass through the digestive system intact.

the out side of a battery is a type of metal that can be weakened by stomach acid and if it were to split it would most likely dump a small amount of battery acid into your stomach.

S**t my pants in the middle of the concourse at JFK while I was waiting in line for the bathroom. I had just gotten off my flight from Italy, and I had severe diarrhea from the food on the plane. The line to the bathroom was very long as several other international flights had also just deplaned. I felt a relief of pressure in my gut, and thought “maybe II just need to fart.” (How foolish of me), I tried to let one rip and suddenly felt a very warm liquid fill my pants. The guy standing in front of me saw the pain on my face and asked if I was waiting to use the bathroom. I nodded and he said that I could go right ahead as the line I was waiting in was actually the line for the ATM…
I rushed into the bathroom and took the last open stall. I cleaned up as best as I could, threw my underwear in the trash, then washed my hands and headed for my next gate to catch my connecting to Chicago. I could still smell a faint s**t smell coming off of my after getting on the next plane. I was hoping that the seat next to me would be empty, but nope. ‘Twas a full flight.

I'm going to say, on behalf of everyone in a toilet queue. if it's an emergency, go to the front and ask that person to go first because it's urgent. you'd have to be a really awful person to say no.

Sophomore in college, spring term, first day of a class. None of us knew who the professor was going to be. I happened to say aloud that I hoped it wasn’t a certain professor because nobody really liked his classes. Classmate sitting next to me kept trying to get my attention, but I kept ranting about how awful he was. She was trying to get my attention because said professor’s son was sitting right behind me. He graciously accepted my apology, and thankfully, the professor in the particular class wasn’t his father.

Lmao my best friend and I do that all the time. There was a teacher we really hated last year and one of our other teachers had to gently remind us to talk quieter because his son was also in the classroom😂

They were, but the father wasn’t the professor of that class

When I told a girl I loved her and she told me she knew and that she felt sorry for me.

Without the context, it really seems like he told a girl he wasn't even dating that he loved her. Oof.

If you ever saw Freaks and Geeks they did a great job capturing Middle School in the early 80s. There's a scene where a character is pushed out into the hallway from the locker room nude. That was a common prank in our school, except it was pushed out into the gymnasium. It was after PE so there was rarely someone in there, but when it happened to me there was a bunch of people setting up equipment for an assembly. Being the shortest kid in your grade sucked. I was the target.

This has to be in the US. If anyone tried that at my school, the bully would have had many follow-up conversations. With the headmaster, the police, a shrink, the headmaster at their new school, etc. etc. etc. And their parents would have also been … disappointed.

On a first date at a fancy restaurant. Halfway through, my stomach started rumbling ominously. I rushed to the restroom, but it was too late. Had to sneak out the back in shame. Never saw her again.

Once, on a first date in a very upscale restaurant, I accidentally belched. It snuck out and it was so loud! Seltzer water 😁

I gave myself 2 black eyes on crazy hat day in first grade by walking into things the first hour of school.

They were wearing a crazy hat for crazy hat day at school, couldn't see well, and walked into things, thus getting 2 black eyes.

During a show I made for our national festival I (accidently)sang the song from another country. Everybody was booing me. So humiliating.

Maybe something like the same language (like accidentally singing a German song in Switzerland or Austria)?

I threw up in public. It was in a museum. I was part of a bus tour group and I just got really sick during the trip. This happened when I was 10. I’m 27 now and I still feel the embarrassment whenever I remember it.

I threw up at Disneyland, out on Main Street during the big parade they held every evening. A combination of too much junk food and too many teacup rides. I was 28.

The museum staff is probably used to cleaning up after people. It's not ideal, but you probably weren't the first person to lose their lunch.

I threw up while walking on a sidewalk on a busy street once in Reno NV, (so a big drinking town). I mean I was pregnant at the time with the WORST morning sickness possible, so all the smells of the fast food places I was walking by got to me. Unfortunately I was not showing enough for it to be obvious why I was throwing up. A cop even stopped and asked if I was ok. It was embarrassing.

When I was like 13 I was in gymnastics, we were working on vault, I ran, I jumped, I did not put my hands up and slammed right into it, bounced off, tripped over the spring board and smacked my head on on of the poles supporting the bars. In front of everyone.

One day in high school, when the bell rang at the end of the day and all the kids are coming out of class and all headed in the same direction, I threw up and it most likely hit a few kids who were in front of me.
I blame my teacher for this humiliation.…I was sitting in last period feeling sick and asked to go the restroom. Being that there were only about 10 minutes left in class, he said no. And the rest is history.

I once tried to do karaoke to a Taiwanese nationalist song at a Chinese international student event and realized halfway through the song that the song was nationalist. I left the room halfway though the song.
Part of the problem is I didn't know the language I attempted to sing in and it's easy as a 19 year old to forget that songs can have meanings that would offend people. The only way I realized it was when I saw the Taiwanese flag and saw the confused faces of the Chinese students.

When I was 10 during summer camp, we had a really chewy steak for the first dinner. I was trying to cut it with all of my strength. At some point, my knife slided and pushed the plate out of the table. Obviously it broke and everybody around my noticed it.

Then there's my friend who went with me to a restaurant one day for lunch. She tried to stab a grape with her fork and bounced it off her plate and bing bing binged down the aisle almost to the hostess station. That was in the 80s and I still haven't let her live that down. 'Course, she's got plenty on me, too.

First day of high school. Platform Keds were THE shoes to own. I couldn't find a pair in my size and i HAD to have a pair. SO i got a pair that were too big and wore a few pairs of socks. Well, of course that didn't work and I fell down the stairs between classes. I reached out for ANYTHING to stop my fall. That "anything" turned out to be the crotch of the captain of the football team.

Class ends and I wanted to leave the class, before that my friend called me and said my crush waved and acknowledge me and I quickly said Hi back and lave the class (cause I was so fkin shy). Turns out she was acknowledging someone..... it was a facepalm at the end of the day.

I have a whole list of stories that haunt me at night but here's a story from today: I was at goodwill today and looking at the shoes. On one of the benches next to the shoe racks there was a lady nursing her baby. I picked up a pair of heels, which knocked down the pair next to it. This pair of shoes just so happened to be at the end of the road, so one of the heels fell off the shelf and onto this lady's shoulder. I apologized profusely but only got a withering stare in return. I still feel bad but I'm glad I didn't hurt the baby.

I remember one time I was 17 and working in a supermarket. There was this cashier I liked and after a few weeks, I finally plucked up the courage to ask her out. She full on laughed in my face and never spoke to me again. There was another time in a different supermarket when I had a 5am start. When I got there and sat down in the staff room, I noticed some discomfort in my upper back area. I reached back and pulled out a coathanger that was inside my shirt but I was too tired to notice.

This isn't the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me but it's definitely up there. I was on a longish ferry trip and noticed a group of guys sitting near me were carrying guitars. I asked if they were in a band and they said yes! Now, I like to sing. I do it all the time. At every single job I've had, I was the one who sang while I worked. So of course I told them. They were interested and asked me to sing for them, and when I was reluctant one guy said "c'mon, show us what you've got!" You know those viral videos where an impromptu musical performance breaks out on public transport or an airport waiting room or whatever? Well, that's not what happened. Because I choked. I made three or four attempts to sing a song for them and each time they'd start getting into the groove, tapping on the guitars as drums... and then I'd completely blank on the lyrics just one verse in. The band left at the terminal without talking to me again. Still pissed at myself for that one.

In elementary, I had a rumbly tummy in gym. We were sitting in our rows, it was quiet as the PE teacher was explaining a game we were going to play. I had to fart and for some reason, I was comfy enough to just let it rip. Y'all, it freaking ECHOED in that gym. I sat there so quiet and mortified as all the other kids started giggling and choking back on laughter. Somehow, they thought it was this other kid who immediately started begging 'it wasn't me, it wasn't me!" I feel bad now but in that moment, I was so relieved no one looked at me. I know my face was beet red. Poor kid was taunted for days after.

Mine was my best friend and I were 16 and thought we were the sh*t. Two young men doing their mission work were knocking door to door. Well they were cute. We decided to flirt. Now I'm generally I really smart person, well as we're flirting away I notice their name tags. My 35 years later embarrassment is still strong as I was floored that both of these young men had the same odd first name. "OMG you guys both have the same first name! That's just cool." They were in fact Elder Morris and Elder Nelson. Had no idea they received titles. Had no idea that I could embarrass myself that badly.
